The distinction between action, interaction, and transaction stood out to me from this chapter. Being born into and raised in a digital world has stagnated the number of transactions between one another. In contrast, the convenience of phone calls, texts, and social media has dramatically increased the number of actions and interactions. Reading someone’s tweet, seeing their posts/pictures, or reading something on their platform are all common examples of action. It is a one-sided type of communication, yet it has quickly become one of the most common ways to communicate. On the other hand, transactions such as emails and texts allow comment and response (unlike an action which is a message sent with no necessary response). This allows for more communication; however, this type of communication is almost like a debate; both sides have their allotted time to state how they feel, and then that’s it. What is lacking in modern society is transactions within the communication. This type of communication allows individuals to output ideas and build and shape ideas based on other inputs.
